Created attachment 115473 [details] Patch that increases drag timeout to 300 ms. Currently drag timeout is set to DEFAULT_TAP_TIMEOUT. That is too short. I'm attaching a patch with DEFAULT_DRAG_TIMEOUT set to 300 ms.
can I assume your signed-off-by for this patch? looks good otherwise, though I'll add a bit to the commit message to explain that this needs to accommodate for the finger movement during dragging.

hmm, I reckon 300 may be a bit on the low side, testing here on a T440 with a fairly big touchpad I lose it quite often. you said in the other bug report you had 700ms for synaptics, how about something in the middle: 500? that seems reliable here though it feels slow on the release but there isn't much we can do I think, at least not without Bug 90255

I don't have that big of a touchpad so smaller timeout works for me. Set it to 500 if that works good for you. Ideally, that timeout should be configurable by the user.
